You can tell that Hakim really knows what he's doing! The water heater replacement job was completed quickly and professionally, and they cleaned up everything afterwards.

I called Oakland Rooter and Plumbing last minute midday Saturday because the bathtub at my property…read morewasn't draining. We had another company's plumber snake the bathtub, but unfortunately, it didn't solve the problem. Oakland Rooter and Plumbing was immediately able to get someone out to the property within just a few hours. Eddie came out, assessed the issue, and recommended snaking the bathtub again. Within an hour, he was able to clear a hairball from the pipe and get the bathtub draining properly again! We were initially worried that there might be a broken pipe, so we were very relieved that Eddie was able to resolve the issue so quickly. Huge thank you to Eddie and Oakland Rooter and Plumbing! I really appreciated the clear communication, quick response, availability on such short notice, and professionalism. We will definitely be reaching out again for future plumbing services!

Very professional!!!

After getting a very high quote from a major plumbing chain, we decided to contact Water Heater…read moreMasters. We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Water Heater Masters. Alex sent our technician, Rojo, who helped install a new 40-gallon gas water heater in our indoor utility closet, and he was incredibly diligent, professional, and efficient from start to finish. Installing a tank in an inside closet can be tricky, but Rojo handled the entire job seamlessly in just 2 hours. He replaced everything with high-quality components, including: * New hot and cold water flex lines * A brand new water shut-off valve * A new gas flex line and sediment trap * Fully reworked earthquake straps (to meet California safety codes) * Properly updated T&P line and venting He also took care of the removal and disposal of our heavy 18 yr old tank, leaving the utility closet completely clean. If you want fair pricing, expert specialized service, and a technician who respects your time and home, call Water Heater Masters and ask for Rojo. Highly recommended!

We were replacing a gas water heater with a hybrid electric heat pump water heater. Generally, this…read moretype of heater costs twice as much (price and installation) as a traditional electric water heater, but costs a lot less to run (and therefore you recoup the additional cost in a few years from lower operating costs). I had a very easy experience getting an on-site quote. I received 3 quotes for this job. 2 quotes, including this one, came in around $7100. I went with a third one at around $6700 (which included an additional mixing valve) and am very happy with my decision. Overall price was not a big part of my decision, but brand of water heater was. After doing some research online, the most recommended brands are AO Smith and Rheem (GE). Both higher quotes were for Navien, which has only been making heat pump water heaters for 1 year, but I was told that it is the most reliable brand. I did not understand how this claim could be made, given how short the duration of evaluation for this product. Even the worst appliances usually work for at least a year. So I requested a quote for AO Smith or Rheem, which I did not get. I'm not sure why my brand request was not honored, but it made me question whether I should go with a company that either has communication issues or maybe some type of deal with Navien that I was not informed about. Many water heater installers are preferred installers of certain brands, which means they can get better pricing, etc. I did not want to be a guinea pig for Navien.

We used this company in July of 2026 and they were great. We had been smelling a slight gas smell…read morein our garage for a number of months. The smell was not consistent. It only occurred when the weather was hot. Basically, only summer afternoons. We had PG&E come out repeatedly and they could not find the source. We spoke with plumbers and other heater repair companies. All of them told us that it was not our heater; that we were wrong about the inconsistency of the smell. That gas leaks are only consistent and would not happen only when it was hot. We were told that we must be wrong. We felt like we were going crazy. Until we called Bay Area Water Heaters and Dave came out (with a whole crew). He took the time to inspect our heater and said yes, this slight gas smell on hot days is something he had heard of. It was likely due to an old valve within the control panel. He walked us through our options but ultimately suggested replacing the entire heater. His team was able to do the job right then and there and at a reasonable rate. It was completed within the hour. And sure enough, no more gas smell in our garage. Dave and his team were amazing and incredibly professional. We will be using this company again.

I had scheduled a service appointment and needed to cancel. I understand that cancellations impact a schedule, so I remained completely calm and polite throughout the conversation and paid their full cancellation fee immediately without hesitation or dispute. Despite complying with their policy right away, the owner became hostile. He lost his temper, raised his voice, and berated me for how much the cancellation hurt his business. A cancellation fee is meant to cover lost time--it is not a license to yell at and lecture paying customers who are speaking respectfully. Handling ordinary business interactions with this level of aggression and emotional volatility is completely unacceptable. I would strongly advise against dealing with an owner who treats customers this way.

Dear Payless Water Heater and Plumbing Team,…read more I am writing to share my appreciation for the excellent service I received from your company yesterday. We were preparing to leave for vacation when our water heater burner failed for the second time in five years. After previously having a very unpleasant experience dealing with warranty work through a big-box retailer, I decided to call Payless. I am so glad I did. The entire experience was pleasant from the initial phone call all the way to the completion of the job. Because I have roommates and needed the issue resolved immediately for peace of mind, we decided to purchase a new unit through you. Our service technician, Eduardo, was fantastic. He was incredibly patient and knowledgeable, and we were very happy to have him handling our installation. I will happily refer Payless Water Heater and Plumbing to anyone in need of your services. Thank you again for the quick and professional help.

I called Payless Water Heaters at 6am and they scheduled a technician to arrive between 8 -10am.

Not only did he install the new water heater very well, I was able to get to work by lunchtime. Payless helped me resolve a big issue and let me get to work and not loose an entire day to dealing with a broken water heater. Great experience!

Hired Water Heaters Only to replace a water heater in Hayward. Often the truest test of a quality…read morebusiness is how they perform when things do not go well. In my case, I have quite a story of having to go five days without hot water because the unit I received was defective. The day after the install we found the tank had shut down. After a reset and restart done over the phone with the installer assisting, the unit failed again, a short time later. The next day which was a Saturday, another technician came out to swap out a heat sensor which appeared to be the problem. While changing out the part, the tech noticed that insulation near the assembly had burned, and ash was present. He vacuumed it out and restarted the unit. It made a horrible noise, and he spent a half an hour on the phone with the manufacturer tech support trying to diagnose the problem. The noise eventually went away and he finished the repair. Unfortunately the machine shut down again after we got one warm shower. I called on Sunday, and explained that I was no longer comfortable with the unit being in our house and I wanted a replacement, of a different maker. Without hesitation they agreed, and Monday morning, after acquiring a, more expensive model of a different make from a supplier, we got a replacement installed, at no additional cost. These problems are rare, and not the fault of the installer. I could not have asked for a more timely and considerate treatment as a valued customer of this business.

UPDATE: Following my…read moreoriginal post, General Manager David reached out early the next morning to understand what went wrong. He promptly dispatched a supervisor, Steve, to inspect the unit. Steve went above and beyond from the start, successfully reigniting the failed water heater and troubleshooting the permit issue. The inspection issue was due to the local code requiring runoff to be routed outside rather than into the crawl space. Wanting to avoid drilling through my front porch, Steve proposed using a workaround device (FloodStop or Watts 210) and proactively reached out to the city inspector for approval. Once the inspector confirmed that a Watts 210 valve met code, David coordinated a return visit for Steve to replace the unit with a Bradford White model and install the approved valve. Steve did a beautiful job with the new installation, expertly redoing the piping and leaving the indoor cabinet completely clean. Best of all, I can finally take a hot shower without worrying that the water heater is going to die on me! I want to extend a sincere thank you to David for listening to my concerns and focusing on a real solution, and to Steve for his outstanding expertise, proactive communication with the city, and top-notch craftsmanship. All the fixes, including additional parts and labor, were provided at no extra charge. While the initial experience was stressful, the management team truly stepped up to make things right.
